The pain scale for chronic pain sufferers 1 existence is pain 2 everything in my head is tv static 3 sneezing is a contact sport 4 it's impolite to scream as much as I'd like 5 Pokemon critical hit noise playing on repeat 6 standing is a contact sport 7 I still feel it in my dreams there's no escape 8 if I give an honest description of my pain everyone just thinks I'm lying 9 being alive is a contact sport 10 [vacant eyed stare of one who lives in hell and knows they may never be saved]

Sometimes it’s hard to explain pain in words, so I really like this visual system.

Me: 2

Nurse: How is it a 2? You just had #OpenHeartSurgery 2 days ago (this all took place back in june)

Wife: Yeah, his #PainTolerance is insane. His 2 is everyone else's 8

Living With Antiphospholipid Syndrome - My Personal Experiences. (A girl is sitting on the floor and writing in a large notebook that is propped against her thigh.)

"There r a few levels in every #ChronicIllness patient’s personal #PainScale. My 9/10 would be equivalent to screaming in pain thru the night..I save my 10/10 rating for massive #BloodClotting episodes..even rate it beyond 10 if I could – it is hell.": buff.ly/FGd1dYQ

I’ve got new appreciation for what the 10 at the top of the pain scale represents. Not only was I unable to focus on anything but the pain, but a big part of me wanted to pass out just to stop feeling the pain.. Glad I didn’t though.

Tweet by spoonie-living Add distress" to your pain scale Pain scale? More like pain in the booty. No two people seem to read it the same way, and the chronic folks tend to downplay their pain. So here's the idea when asked to rate your pain, provide a number to rate your distress levels and addition to your pain levels. Some examples: "I am at a five on the pain scale, but my distress is basically a one because this is my usual" "I'm a three on the pain scale, but my dress is a seven because this is a new pain and it affects a part of my body that is very important to my work." It's a great way to consider how your pain is impacting you and to get a doctor's attention what it does actually needed. Tweet by adizzycollegekid OP is a genius

Pain severity scale Zero no pain I have no pain 1. minimal the pain is hardly noticeable 2. mild I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it. 3. uncomfortable my pain bothers me but I can ignore most of the time 4. moderate I am constantly aware of my pain but I can continue most activities. 5. Distracting I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some activities because of my pain. 6. distressing I think about my pain all the time. I have to stop during most activities because of my pain. 7. unmanageable. I am in pain most of the time. It keeps me from starting most activities. 8. Intense my pain is so severe it's hard to think of anything else talking and listening are difficult. 9. Severe my pain is all I can think about I can barely talk or move because of the pain. 10. Unable to move I am in bed and unable to move because of the pain. I need someone to take me to the ER
